Anybody know anything about UV aging for paints? I've looked over a couple of standards and see at least one that purports 1,000 hours of test time under Xenon lamps (I believe) is roughly 1 year in the Florida sun, but more specifically I'm looking at the damage curve or something similar - if it exists. Is most of the damage done in the first few days and then it goes asymptotic like a capacitor discharge curve, or linear etc. The main trouble with standards is that you have to buy them before you know what's in them so I'm trying to zoom in a little before paying out the cash. Standard scopes sometimes give a good idea what to expect some do not. I know this isn't a EMC kind of thing - but we work around and with a lot of different equipment and equipment requirements so I thought I would take a chance here. Thank you
